RIser Block

I have an Anschutz 1907 in an 1918 stock with the standard black riser block (for your hand) and wondered if I could attach blocks to it to raise the height. I would just screw them in, but is this legal for 3-P?

USAS Rule 7.4.3.3 Palm Rest

"A palm rest is any attachment or extension below the fore-end which aids the support of the rifle by the forward hand. The palm rest must not extend more than 200 mm below the center line of the barrel."

That works out to just shy of 8 inches, inside of that, you are good.

So, it could be twisted and "formed" to my hand (same for air rifle)?

No. ISSF rule 7.4.2.2 (for 300m Standard Rifle and 10m Rifle):-
A thumb hole, thumb rest, palm rest, heel rest and spirit level are prohibited. If a stock is less than the maximum allowed in any dimension, it may be brought up to the measurements shown in the Rifle Measurement Table. Any addition must be within the permitted dimensions and in no case may the pistol grip or the lower part of the stock be anatomically formed.

The maximum depth of the fore-end, measured from the centre line of the bore, is 90mm.
